Improving Creativity in Social Studies Learning Using the Quantum Teaching Model
Keywords:
Quantum Teaching, Social Studies Learning, Creativity, Educational Innovation, Learning OutcomesAbstract
This classroom action research aims to examine the effectiveness of the Quantum Teaching learning model in enhancing student creativity within the context of social studies learning. Conducted from April 27 to May 7, 2018, at SDN Banyubiru 03, the study involved second-grade elementary students. Data were collected through tests, observation sheets, and creativity rubrics. The results showed a progressive improvement in student learning outcomes and creativity across three cycles. Student achievement meeting the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) increased from 30% in the pre-cycle to 67% in Cycle I, and 84% in Cycle II. In terms of creativity, the percentage of students in the "creative" category improved slightly, while those in the "non-creative" category decreased significantly. These findings indicate that the application of the Quantum Teaching model supports the development of creativity and learning outcomes in early social studies education, contributing to more engaging and human-centered instructional practices.
